Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If modern cyber security solutions include a wide array of variables to account for, then security coverage is improved, but sorting through and managing these variables becomes time consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically calculates cyber-attack safeguard quantifiers by analyzing cyber profiles and risk profiles without requiring manual sorting or management of security variables. The processor autonomously processes the wide array of variables, computes safeguard quantifiers, and updates security measures, eliminating the time-consuming manual intervention while maintaining comprehensive security coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms the wide array of security variables into a simplified quantitative metric (cyber-attack safeguard quantifier) that can be easily calculated and compared. By changing the parameters from multiple individual variables to a single integrated quantifier, the system maintains comprehensive security analysis while dramatically reducing the time required to process and manage security data
2Device complexity
If data used for generation of safeguards is not up to date, then processing complexity is reduced, but security effectiveness deteriorates as up to date information affects different aspects of safeguards
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically updates the cyber-attack safeguard quantifier when digital environment variations are detected. Instead of using static outdated data, the system continuously monitors for changes in the digital environment and recalculates safeguard quantifiers with current information, maintaining both processing efficiency and security effectiveness through adaptive, real-time updates
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the calculated safeguard quantifier and security measures are continuously monitored, and when changes in the digital environment are detected, the system automatically triggers recalculation with updated data. This closed-loop feedback ensures security effectiveness is maintained without requiring complex manual updates, as the system self-corrects based on current environmental conditions
